I started to use Website blaze to learn a bit more on how to drive targeted traffic to my websites. To increase my conversion rates and start building a successful income online. The traffic methods it covers are both traffic exchange marketing and article marketing.

The methods used for traffic exchanges allow you to brand your name or business and really get your face out there to build a strong brand and trusting relationship. The site also gives other members a way of reaching you via social networks such as your facebook fan page, youtube and others.

The second marketing method they go over is article marketing and have a powerful system in place to really help you benefit from SEO. This traffic is targeted from search engines and is a great way to promote your offers and business. Inside your members area is a wealth of information about how to promote with article marketing.

On top of this you get your own custom profile with achievements every month. These achievements earn you reward points which you can transfer into even more advertising. Your own custom profile also shows up when your site is displayed on the traffic exchange as well as your articles helping increase your exposure.

There is also an option to upgrade your account which will allow you to tap into even more of the membership base and increase your exposure. It also comes with special training exclusive to upgraded accounts only!

And it's time for another edition of the A-Z of Internet marketing. This edition features helpful tips on how to run an Internet-based business. Sometimes we take these small matters for granted, but know that they are important parts of the success of your business.

One tip I could give is.. you don't need to pay for backlinks. You can visit blogs in your niche and leave them valid comments. This is a good way to build links to your site. It also provides added traffic to your site from other visitors of the blogs you visited. Do make your comment valid and interesting so that others will also take interest in you. Spamming other blogs does not help you so stop before you even think of it.

Another way of building links is to partner with some colleagues and exchange comments on one another's blogs. The rest of the tips are helpful pointers and reminders on what to expect when you run an Internet-based business.

As you know, this is one series that I enjoy following and posting about. First, because I love reading it 'coz I'm learning from all the tips. Secondly, I enjoy passing on the information for others to read and learn from. Lastly, I like blogging and I enjoy providing quality content on my site. ^_^

For this week, enjoy some of the "NEVER" tips to undertake when doing online marketing. Yup! "NEVER" tips 'coz they tell you what NOT TO DO when you embark on this online earning journey. Read on.......

I don't want to sound like I'm discouraging you, but online marketing isn't as easy as it sounds. There are no easy buttons and no shortcuts to take you where you want to go quickly. Anything that is sound and legitimate online takes time to build. And yes, you need to be patient, consistent, and persistent.

I started out as an affiliate marketer, and I still do that as part of my promotions. But a year down the line I started exploring the possibilities of being a program owner. True, I have so much to learn, but I feel that if I don't take action I won't learn as much as I need to and want to. I'm not yet there... but I'm happy that Winning Solos Text Ad Exchange is growing. Do check out my site when you get the chance! Till next edition...

Some marketing campaigns are effective; others not so. You need to track your ads so you know which ones work and which ones need revision. Do this before splurging on advertising. After all, you don't want to waste your hard-earned money on something that doesn't work.

Try not to send too many sales pitching emails. I get annoyed by such and usually just end up unsubscribing from the list.

Also, rather than buying email lists, just join safelists and mailers that offer the same services. Test which ones work best for you. Plus be consistent in your marketing promotions. It takes more than one ad to get people to sign up.
